Angry speaker cries''its unfair, inaccurate and unfortunate 2 call 4 my resignation''

"Those championing this curious cause of 'Etteh-Must-Resign' are those aware of the facts of the case and their campaign is beginning to look like a haunt borne of hatred,"

"It is unfair, inaccurate and unfortunate to call for the resignation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Patricia Olubunmi Etteh. The Speaker set up that probe panel along with her colleagues. She was elected by her colleagues. Only her colleagues can decide what happens next."

"The probe panel's report has been laid on the table and what it contains are conclusions, not recommendations for punishment. One wonders when non-members of the House of Representatives started deciding how 360 members of the lower chambers run their affairs.

The House of Representatives is made up of people elected by Nigerians to represent them. Those who elected them trust them enough to do the right thing. The House has procedures and rules on every issue and only members can decide how the House is run."

"What the procedure says is that the report will be debated when the House reconvenes after its two-week recess. It is therefore unfair and misleading for people to stay outside and tell 360 members of this honourable House what to do. It is like telling Nigerians that the people they elected cannot do the job."

In a statement signed yesterday by her Special Adviser on Media, the Speaker, House of Representatives, Patricia Etteh stated this yesterday.

Sometimes I'm amazed at the way Africans run our democracy. This lady is still refusing to do the decent thing. President Chirac once said that Africa is not ready for democracy and I can see why.

These are signs of good times coming with regards to transparency/responsible governace in Nigeria.It simply shows the resolve of Nigerians to call it quits with government officials that steal under our noses.
In the real sense,what Etteh is being accussed of is peanuts compared to what we have been used to.But,that is yesterday's ice and it has melted today!!The time calls for judicious spending and good governance.She is a scape goat and yes,somebody has to start it.
I would advice and sincerly wish that she is replaced with another woman which would demonstrate the gender-freindly resolve of the present administration.

i believe she has no shame . Of course if the public feels they have ben let down by an official,they reserve the right to call for his/her resignation. it is now left for the elected members to listen to the words of the public that got them elected and do the right thing.
she should go back to te drawing board
